THE FLOWER The sun wraps a halo Around the frailness of your face Your smile frames your spirit How lucky I feel To be part of your life To share in your wonder On this beautiful day, We are together That is all that matters Tomorrow ... let it be done We have today Suddenly, you pick a flower As you reach for the flower, It bows to your will Knowing you will honor Its beauty as long as it lasts © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

KITTY Kitty lies upon my bed She doesn’t move too much And time has made her body a shadow Of what it used to be Through the months, I watch her spirit disappear and come back with every snore When she’s awake, she doesn’t say too much Sadly, she no longer greets me at the door Today... she passed away I cried I miss her so It’s hard to live without her quiet promises And hear her sweet “hello” If she were with me, I know what she would say. “Stop making such a fuss. Life alters all our lives. Be grateful we had us.” © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

THE INVITATION You tell me you have Already made up you mind I ask How can you be so unkind? I feel like a flower Among your thorns Sometimes I wish Our love had never been born At the doorstep, I give you a reason To reassess It’s time We square away our mess Change our strategy Have some fun Listen to me Obstacles Are here to stay Involve yourself in us today Let’s Sigh and hug There now... Caring is a symbol of our love. © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

INDIVIDUALITY Ask your spirit... how to breathe In the fullness of the day How to have the courage To belong to yourself How to break from the foolish How to find equanimity Do not think this is idealistic Or a hopeless quest Beneath life’s changes See the passing flux With a determination and mindful eye For it is through one’s vision, The wise becomes separate Yet bonds with the group It is then the spirit connects Itself to joy and offers An infinite energy Where humanity’s blessing live. © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

IN THE GARDEN Beyond the garden’s eyes lies a sleepy dawn I lay awake and wonder How will I see an opening After you and our love have gone? Will it ever be possible For me to capture the brilliant light? Smell the flowers? Touch a budding heart? I take a step Into the summer’s warm untroubled air Behind my weakness a summons calls To join life’s mystery with a flair Amazingly I feel… I’m ready to strike my spirit’s fire The beauty in the garden Has settled a wantonness in me.© Doris Ann Bridgehouse

PERHAPS A CHANCE In the store window, I see your reflection I hurry to confirm My heart skips a beat My head spins Pronouncing how much I have missed You drop your package To your surprise, I retrieve it Accidently, our hands touch Your eyes mirror my soul I blush knowing you still care A heavy silence Covers our unspoken words We smile, nod good-by, And walk in opposite directions Leaving no margin for error Like two well oiled machines. © Doris Ann Bridgehouse

CROSSING BRIDGES I’ve crossed bridges before But nothing like this awkward ethereal place I’ll have to fill in the blanks Come from a different position Examine the common ground, Appreciate life’s unfamiliar nudges, And Listen to the tranquil voices Of powerful godsends. © Doris Ann Bridgehouse
